Friday night witnessed a most creditable and brilliant entertainment here, the occasion being the closing ceremonies of Mrs. J. J>\ Hodges school. It. was, indeed, a very brilliant affair?the word is fittingly used, it properly describes it. The exercises were held In the Methodist church nuilding, which had been curtained, decorated and otherwise arranged for the occasion. All Jlodges were there- or at least as many as the building could accommodate, for the pews were nil full, and many had lo stand in the aisles and doorways. The proceedings began with prayer by the Rev. \V. L. \Vi|dt who Impressively invoked divine blessings upon the school and Its accomplished teacher, and in titliDg terms of- I lereu up thanks to almighty God for the growth of that spirit or treedotn and education that make such occasions as this possible. Then began the inspiriting events of the evening. C'apt. .1. F. Hodges was master ?>i ceremonies, and he performed his duties ? itb executive ability and dignity.

' I'rlces mid Profit*. ( Evidence accumulates that cheap cotton Is not hurting the southern farmer so much as | dovenly farming and common laziness. Since the facts about cotton being raised at Rock Hill and several other points in Houth < Carolina close round 2 cents a pound cost price, and in Texas at 3 cents to 4 cents a . pound, a great many people have come to iirree with The Tradesman, that 5-cent cotton will "ruin" only such cotton farmers as do lot farm at all, but plow with a stick and -rust all the work to hired help. The sooner sensible farmers make up their minds that 1 .he day of high prices is gone and they must j ilther live or starve on low prices, the sooner ,hey will begin loattendlo their business in juslneso fashion. No more will our farmers t lave opportunities for making money easily iuu I npiu i j binvsu^u niuuniij nnu tut" ipplication of ull their intelligence to their ,voi k.
